Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities working in health, Jewish community services, education, youth development, or local community programs that can make a clear, concise written request and fit the foundation’s demonstrated grant sizes and purposes.
Good Fit
- • Asks for a grant in the typical small-to-mid award range (many grants under $5K with some up to $50K).
- • Is a health charity, Jewish organization, education nonprofit, youth-development group, or local community service provider (areas observed repeatedly).
- • Can submit a tidy standard request form and documentation by mail on a rolling schedule.
- • Is comfortable with occasional larger, multi-state grants but usually modest annual awards.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in 11 states and roughly 84% of giving was outside the foundation’s home state, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a strictly local focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 41 distinct recipients with broad mission coverage (health, Jewish organizations, education, youth and community services) and a substantial number of new grantees, so the recipient set is wide for this size of foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: 30 new recipients appeared in 2024 and the profile lists application instructions and a named contact with a rolling submission process, so unfamiliar applicants appear likely to be considered.
